Previous surveys of the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Korea have identified types 1 and 2, but little has been said of other genotypes and viral subtypes. In this study, HCV genotypes in Korea were investigated using Restriction Fragment Mass Polymorphism (RFMP) assay, a sensitive and specific method for genotyping based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. A total of 1,043 independent serum samples from HCV-infected patients were analyzed. Of interest, 15 subjects (1.4%) were determined to contain HCV genotype 6 and 46 subjects (4.4%) contained mixed genotypes with the most prevalent genotypes being HCV 1b and 2a/c (45.0% and 35.4%, respectively). The 15 subjects with HCV genotype 6 comprised eight cases of subtype 6c, including one case of mixed infection with 1b, three cases of HCV 6a, and six cases of unassigned subtypes. Sequencing corroborated the identity of genotype 6 from 13 subjects, while the line probe assay (LiPA) mis-identified them as genotype 1b. The majority (7/9) of the genotype 6 patients enrolled for interferon/ribavirin therapy, achieved a sustained virologic response. The ability of the RFMP assay to differentiate various HCV genotypes should enable better analysis of the relationship between HCV genotype and disease prognosis. 相似文献

Trichosporon spp. have recently emerged as significant human pathogens. Identification of these species is important, both for epidemiological purposes and for therapeutic management, but conventional identification based on biochemical traits is hindered by the lack of updates to the species databases provided by the different commercial systems. In this study, 93 strains, or isolates, belonging to 16 Trichosporon species were subjected to both molecular identification using IGS1 gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation–time-of-flight (MALDI–TOF) analysis. Our results confirmed the limits of biochemical systems for identifying Trichosporon species, because only 27 (36%) of the isolates were correctly identified using them. Different protein extraction procedures were evaluated, revealing that incubation for 30 min with 70% formic acid yields the spectra with the highest scores. Among the six different reference spectra databases that were tested, a specific one composed of 18 reference strains plus seven clinical isolates allowed the correct identification of 67 of the 68 clinical isolates (98.5%). Although until recently it has been less widely applied to the basidiomycetous fungi, MALDI–TOF appears to be a valuable tool for identifying clinical Trichosporon isolates at the species level. 相似文献

The novel PapilloCheck® genotyping test was compared with SPF10 PCR LiPav1 and PGMY09/11 on hybrid capture 2 (HC2)‐pretested samples. From results of 826 cervical samples detection rates and kappa values for the tests were calculated using a HPV type consensus definition. With PapilloCheck® HPV types 53, 56, and 33 were found with a sensitivity of 100%. The lowest detection rate was observed for HPV 35 (72.2%). The SPF10 PCR LiPav1 was found to be 100% positive for HPV 18, 31, 53, 56, and 35 and lowest for HPV 59 (81%). The PGMY09/11 system detected only HPV 59 at 100% detection rate and showed lowest sensitivity for HPV 56 (40.5%). Multiple infection rates ranged from 25.8% (PGMY09/11 PCR‐LBA), over 39.5% (PapilloCheck®) to 55.9% (SPF10 PCR LiPav1). In samples with higher viral DNA load detection rates and concordance between the genotyping tests increases. The kappa values in comparison to the HPV consensus type ranged from k = 0.21 to k = 0.82 for comparing SPF10 PCR with the HPV consensus type, while values for PGMY09/11 PCR ranged from k = 0 to k = 0.96 and were best for the PapilloCheck® (k = 0.49–0.98). Detection rates for the identification of high‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) ranged from 93.7% (PGMY09/11 PCR) to 98.4% (PapilloCheck®, SPF10 PCR, HC2). In conclusion, this study shows that the PapilloCheck® give comparable results to established PCR methods. However, these results also show a necessity for the standardization of genotype‐specific HPV detection assays. J. Med. Virol. 82:605–615, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

An assay that uses heminested PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis for the detection and genotyping of Giardia duodenalis on the basis of polymorphism in the triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) gene was developed. This assay was evaluated with DNA extracted from purified parasite material, bacterial cultures, whole human feces containing G. duodenalis and other parasites, and their corresponding immunofluorescence-stained fecal smears on glass microscope slides. The assay was specific and discriminated between G. duodenalis assemblages A and B. RFLP analysis further distinguished two groups (designated groups I and II) within assemblage A. Among 35 DNA samples extracted from whole feces from patients with confirmed sporadic giardiasis, the tpi gene was amplified from 33 (94%). Of these, nine (27%) samples contained assemblage A group II, 21 (64%) contained assemblage B, and 3 (9%) contained a mixture of assemblage A group II and assemblage B. The tpi gene of G. duodenalis assemblage B was amplified from 21 of 24 (88%) DNA samples extracted from whole feces from patients with confirmed cases of infection in a nursery outbreak. No amplification was detected from the remaining three DNA samples. Overall, analysis of DNA extracted from material recovered from stained microscope slides identified identical G. duodenalis genotypes in 35 (65%) of the 54 samples for which a genotype was established with DNA from whole feces. The heminested PCR method developed is sensitive, simple, and rapid to perform and is applicable for the analysis of other intestinal pathogens. 相似文献

New Aspergillus species have recently been described with the use of multilocus sequencing in refractory cases of invasive aspergillosis. The classical phenotypic identification methods routinely used in clinical laboratories failed to identify them adequately. Some of these Aspergillus species have specific patterns of susceptibility to antifungal agents, and misidentification may lead to inappropriate therapy. We developed a matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) mass spectrometry (MS)‐based strategy to adequately identify Aspergillus species to the species level. A database including the reference spectra of 28 clinically relevant species from seven Aspergillus sections (five common and 23 unusual species) was engineered. The profiles of young and mature colonies were analysed for each reference strain, and species‐specific spectral fingerprints were identified. The performance of the database was then tested on 124 clinical and 16 environmental isolates previously characterized by partial sequencing of the β‐tubulin and calmodulin genes. One hundred and thirty‐eight isolates of 140 (98.6%) were correctly identified. Two atypical isolates could not be identified, but no isolate was misidentified (specificity: 100%). The database, including species‐specific spectral fingerprints of young and mature colonies of the reference strains, allowed identification regardless of the maturity of the clinical isolate. These results indicate that MALDI‐TOF MS is a powerful tool for rapid and accurate identification of both common and unusual species of Aspergillus. It can give better results than morphological identification in clinical laboratories. 相似文献

Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing has been proposed as a means of replacing or supporting conventional cervical screening (Pap test). However, both methods require the collection of cervical samples. Urine sample is easier and more acceptable to collect and could be helpful in facilitating cervical cancer screening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of urine testing compared to conventional cervical smear testing using a PCR‐based method with a new, designed specifically primer set. Paired cervical and first voided urine samples collected from 107 women infected with HIV were subjected to HPV‐DNA detection and genotyping using a PCR‐based assay and a restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) were calculated using the McNemar's test for differences. Concordance between tests was assessed using the Cohen's unweighted Kappa (k). HPV DNA was detected in 64.5% (95% CI: 55.1–73.1%) of both cytobrush and urine samples. High concordance rates of HPV‐DNA detection (k = 0.96; 95% CI: 0.90–1.0) and of high risk‐clade and low‐risk genotyping in paired samples (k = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.67–0.92 and k = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.60–0.88, respectively) were observed. HPV‐DNA detection in urine versus cervix testing revealed a sensitivity of 98.6% (95% CI: 93.1–99.9%) and a specificity of 97.4% (95% CI: 87.7–99.9%), with a very high NPV (97.4%; 95% CI: 87.7–99.9%). The PCR‐based assay utilized in this study proved highly sensitive and specific for HPV‐DNA detection and genotyping in urine samples. These data suggest that a urine‐based assay would be a suitable and effective tool for epidemiological surveillance and, most of all, screening programs. J. Med.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been found in cervical cancer, tonsillar cancer, and certain types of head and neck cancers. We report on a DNA microarray-based method for the simultaneous detection and typing of HPVs. The genotype spectrum discriminated by this HPV DNA microarray includes 15 high-risk HPV genotypes and 12 low-risk HPV genotypes. The HPV DNA microarray showed high degrees of specificity and reproducibility. We evaluated the performance of the HPV DNA microarray by application to three HPV-positive cell lines (HeLa, Caski, and SiHa cells) and two HPV-negative cell lines (C33A and A549 cells). The HPV DNA microarray successfully identified the known types of HPV present in the cell lines. The detection limit of the HPV DNA microarray was at least 100-fold higher than that of PCR. To assess the clinical applicability of the HPV DNA microarray, we performed the HPV genotyping assay with 73 nonmalignant and malignant samples from 39 tonsillar cancer patients. Twenty-five of the 39 (64.1%) malignant samples were positive for HPV, whereas 3 of 34 (8.8%) nonmalignant samples were positive for HPV. This result shows a preferential association of HPV with tonsillar carcinomas. The correlations of the presence of HPV with the grade of differentiation and risk factors were not significant. Our data show that the HPV DNA microarray may be useful for the diagnosis and typing of HPV in large-scale epidemiological studies. 相似文献

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer‐related deaths in developing countries, and the human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked etiologically to cervical cancer. Eighty nine cervical carcinoma biopsies collected from women visiting the Oncologic Center in Casablanca (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ibn Rochd, Morocco) for cervical cancer symptoms, were screened for HPV DNA by polymerase chain reaction amplification with subsequent typing by hybridization with specific oligonucleotides for HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, and 59. Using very high stringency hybridization the HPV types could be easily distinguished. After preliminary clinical sorting, 92% (82/89) of the samples were found to be HPV‐positive. Among the samples infected by a single HPV, type 16 was the most frequent 36.6% (30/82) of the positive samples, followed by HPV 18; 19.5% (16/82). Double or even multiple infections by the different HPV types were also detected (35.5% of the positive samples); dual infections were the more frequent, with the following combinations of HPVs: HPV16/HPV18 (21% of the positives samples) and HPV16/HPV45 (8.5%).

Background: Many studies have suggested a relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, findings are inconclusive, potentially because of geographic heterogeneity and variations in detection methods. Objectives: We sought to further investigate the prevalence of HPV with a new detection method, the MassARRAY Sequenom technique, in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas occurring in patients belonging to Kazakh populations in Xinjiang, China. Study design: In the present study, a novel genotyping method for detecting 30 HPV genotypes, specifically by genotyping both the HPV E6 and L1 genes with multiplex PCR using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) (PCR-MS) was first adopted to evaluate HPV genotypes in 89 esophageal cancer samples and 49 matched adjacent normal esophageal tissues. Results: Six HPV genotypes (HPV6, HPV16, HPV33, HPV39, HPV51, and HPV82) were present in at least 51.7% of the esophageal carcinoma tissues, which was significantly greater than 28.6% prevalence among controls (P < 0.05). HPV16 was the most common of all the genotypes investigated (HPV16 prevalence in carcinoma tissue: 49.4%; odds ratio 3.02, 95% confidence interval 1.39-6.53). HPV-positive ESCC patients were generally younger than HPV-negative patients (P = 0.04). In addition, HPV infection was more common in cases of well-differentiated and shallower invasive depth. Conclusions: Based on this new detection method, our findings reiterate the possibility that HPV infection (especially HPV16) may be involved in the etiology of esophageal carcinoma in the Kazakh populations and that HPV E6 gene positivity may be associated with prognosis of patients. 相似文献

The development of a prophylactic vaccine that targets human papillomaviruses (HPV) 6, 11, 16, and 18 to prevent cervical cancer has increased interest in the ethnic and geographical distributions of HPV genotypes. We investigated HPV prevalence and type distribution by restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) testing a total of 60,775 specimens (aged 18-79 yr, median 44) taken from liquid-based cytology. Overall HPV positive rate of total patients was 34.2%. Among the positive patients, 87.7% was single type infections, and 12.3% was multiple HPV types. HPV-16 was the most prevalent genotype observed in 2,307 (26.0%), followed by type 52 in 2,269 (25.5%), type 58 in 1,090 (12.3%), type 18 in 633 (7.1%), type 56 in 436 (4.9%). The pattern of high risk-HPV positive rate according to age showed U-shape with a peak in HPV prevalence among women less than 30 yr of age, and a second peak among the older females aged 70 to 79 yr. The leading four high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV-16, HPV-52, HPV-58, and HPV-18 in descending order. In conclusion, this study provides the most representative prevalence and type-specific distribution of HPV among Korean women, and demonstrates that the epidemiology of HPV infection is different from that of other regions of the world. 相似文献

As persistent carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a prominent driver of cervical cancer, it is essential to explore HPV persistence and its associated factors for cancer screening and prevention. A retrospective cohort study was performed in outpatient women between March 2010 and 2019 in Heilongjiang, northeast China. HPV genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-membrane hybridization. An unconditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of factors with persistence. The overall prevalence of HPV at baseline was 27.1%, with a downward trend from 2010 to 2019 (P < .0001). The most commonly observed high- and low-risk HPVs were HPV16 (N = 1094, 5.9%) and HPV11 (N = 596, 3.2%), respectively. The probabilities of 6-month persistence were high for women infected with HPV16 (P = .0001), HPV58 (P = .018), and HPV53 (P = .014), as well as for women with multiple infections (P = .009), and those who were 51 to 60 years old (P = .004) or more than 60 years old (P = .007). The probabilities of 12-month persistence were high for women infected with HPV53 (P = .017) and 51- to 60-year-old women (P = .044). HPV16 is the dominant HPV type in Heilongjiang. An age in the range of 51 to 60 years and infection with HPV53 is associated with HPV infection persistence in the Heilongjiang population. 相似文献

Highly multiplexed genotyping methods are needed to support a comprehensive analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in coronary artery disease (CAD)-related genes. In this study we evaluated chip-based MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for multiplexed genotyping of SNPs associated with CAD. Our analysis included 14 healthy Japanese individuals and 19 Japanese patients with myocardial infarction whose first attack occurred before age 50. We selected 29 candidate genes involved in 1) the renin-angiotensin system, 2) lipid metabolism, 3) cytokines and adhesion molecules, 4) growth factors, and 5) the coagulation-fibrinolysis system. Genotyping of candidate SNPs was performed by MALDI-TOF MS using a MassARRAY system, and 4-plex analysis was achieved at a maximum. All 39 SNPs determined by the fluorescent dye-terminator cycle sequencing method from four randomly selected patients were found to be in complete agreement with the results obtained from MassARRAY system. Significant differences were observed in the -1965delG of PAI1 (SERPINE1) with respect to allelic frequency, the G>A in the promoter region SNP in SM22 (TAGLN) for dominant genotype, and in two other SNPs (C>T in intron 1 of HGF, and -1965delG of PAI1) for recessive genotype. Three SNPs (803T>C of AGT, 677CT of MTHFR, 190T>C of ADRB3) showed weak differences in allelic frequency. MALDI-TOF-MS provided high performance with a multiplex assay design for analysis of CAD-related SNPs by increasing the throughput while maintaining a high level of accuracy. 相似文献

This report describes the application of a new approach to tumor genotyping called peptide mass signature genotyping (PMSG) that is particularly suited to detecting minority sequences in a DNA sample. Detecting minority sequences is essential for accurate tumor genotyping because tumor resections are generally a mixture of malignant and non-malignant cells, with the mutations of interest often outnumbered by the corresponding wild-type alleles. To explore the suitability of PMSG for tumor genotyping, 25 human squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, as well as a set of cell lines derived from those tumors, were analyzed for mutations in exons 5 to 8 of the TP53 gene, the exons that encode the DNA-binding domains of the p53 protein. PMSG identified mutations in 11 tumor DNA samples, whereas dideoxy sequencing of the same samples detected mutations in only four. Currently, PMSG can be used to detect mutations that are present in only 20% of the sample DNA, and we expect that this threshold will be lowered significantly as the PMSG process is improved.

Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) has been associated with cervical cancer. Developing assays for the identification of these viral types is of great importance for monitoring patients and controlling strategies. The development of the MCHA (microplate colorimetric hybridization assay), a PCR-based method for identifying six of the most common HR-HPV types (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 39 and 45) is described. The MCHA combines the amplification with the GP5+/GP6+ consensus primers followed by PCR reverse hybridization with specific probes and detection through a colorimetric assay. The performance of the MCHA was evaluated using 108 DNA samples typed previously by the PapilloCheck®. The agreement between both methods was 69.4% for HPV 16; 79.1% for HPV 45; 82.4% for HPV 18; 93.6% for HPV 31; 87.9% for HPV 33, and 17.6% for HPV 39. The assay had higher sensitivity than the Papillocheck®, particularly for identifying HPV 16 and 18. The MCHA seemed to be sensitive and specific for the identification of the most prevalent HPV types in invasive cervical cancer, HPV 16, 18, 45, 33 and 31. It requires low-cost reagents and common laboratory apparatus. 相似文献

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection in both men and women, but there are limited data comparing the prevalence of HPV infection between genders and in different anogenital sites. This cross‐sectional analysis describes the distribution of HPV types in the genital tract of 3,410 consecutive females and 1,033 males undergoing voluntary screening for HPV and referred to a single institution. The relationship between specific HPV types and the presence of anogenital lesions was examined. In both females and males, the overall prevalence of HPV infection was about 40%. A wide variety of HPV types was identified, but the prevalence of different types was remarkably similar in the two genders, even when considering different anatomical sites. HPV‐6 was the most frequent (prevalence 13%) type in all anogenital sites in men followed by HPV‐16 (7%), while HPV‐16 was the most common type in women (about 6%), either in the cervix, vagina, or vulva, followed by HPV‐6. In addition to HPV‐16, HPV‐58, HPV‐33, HPV‐31, and HPV‐56 were the carcinogenic types detected most commonly and were significantly associated with high‐grade squamous intraepithelial cervical lesions, while HPV‐53 and HPV‐66 were the most common among possibly carcinogenic types. In both genders, anogenital warts were associated with HPV‐6 and HPV‐11 infection, and, less frequently, with other types, like HPV‐54, HPV‐62, and HPV‐66. These results show that genital HPV infection involves numerous HPV types, which have similar distribution patterns in females and males and in different anogenital anatomical sites. J. Med.

BACKGROUND: Due to the differences in the oncogenic activity of human papillomaviruses (HPV), it is clinically important to accurately identify HPV types in a simple and time effective manner. OBJECTIVES: We aimed at developing a straightforward and cost-effective assay to individually identify all mucosal HPVs, based on the amplification of L1 gene using MY09/11 primers, and subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. STUDY DESIGN: We made use of bioinformatic tools to analyze all published DNA sequences of 49 mucosal HPV types for PstI, HaeIII, DdeI and RsaI restriction sites. Based on the RFLP patterns, we have designed an original genotyping algorithm. RESULTS: Each HPV type presented a distinct RFLP pattern, which was visually distinguishable on polyacrylamide gels. A set of 27 pre-selected patient samples of known HPV types was confirmed positive for the same HPV type using this RFLP assay. Furthermore, in a random and blind HPV typing experiment performed in 30 untyped clinical samples, RFLP data consistently matched DNA sequencing results. CONCLUSIONS: Our polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, using 4 restriction enzymes (PstI, HaeIII, DdeI, RsaI) and an original genotyping algorithm, allows discrimination of all individual mucosal HPV types in single infections, and even detection of multiple infections. This assay gives complementary information to commercially available methods, and may also be financially advantageous, particularly when financial resources are scarce. 相似文献
